📖 Usage

tree-swing

An interactive menu will appear:

1. Select an origin branch (e.g., develop, staging)
2. The tool will:
   • Fetch the latest from origin
   • Create a new branch with the configured prefix (e.g., for-dev/your-current-branch)
   • Merge the origin branch into it

Config Manager

Select "other" from the main menu to:

• ➕ Create new config — Add a new origin branch + prefix pair
• 🗑️ Delete config — Remove an existing configuration
• ← Go back — Return to the main menu

⚙️ Configuration

Configs are stored in a config.txt file using a simple key=value format:

develop=for-dev
staging=for-stag

Each line maps an origin branch (left) to a prefix (right). When you select develop, the tool creates a branch like for-dev/your-current-branch.

🗑️ Uninstall

npm uninstall -g tree-swing
